Comments [?]

Function Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation.
Catalytic activity Reaction=Endonucleolytic cleavage at a junction such as a reciprocal single-stranded crossover between two homologous DNA duplexes (Holliday junction).; EC=3.1.21.10;
Cofactor Mg(2+)
Note: Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Similarity Belongs to the RecU family.
